Ever pushed an API key to production? Don’t lie—we’ve all done it. Here’s how to make sure it never happens again, using a 10-line Vite plugin. Secrets don’t belong in your codebase. Not in a commit, not in a PR, and definitely not in production. And yet, it happens—a quick console.log() with an API key, a test token dropped into a config file, a placeholder password that never gets removed. Days later? Still there. Weeks? Maybe it even gets pushed to production. I've heard more than one story of dev teams scanning older, inherited codebases—only to find hardcoded API keys sitting in plain text. These weren’t new mistakes, they’d been buried for years. It’s a reminder that even quiet, untouched code can hide serious risks. Let’s talk about how to catch this stuff early, right in your Vite …  ( 5 min )

Introduction As someone with nearly twenty years of experience, I've helped teams understand how their systems perform under pressure. I can tell you this: most load tests don’t fail because there aren’t enough users. And one of the biggest blind spots? Compatibility. You can run a well-designed test, simulate 10,000 users, and hit all your APIs. But you might still miss that your front-end has issues on Safari. Or, your mobile users can’t finish the checkout process. This isn’t just about performance. It’s also a compatibility problem. When you add more users, this issue becomes a performance problem. In the early days of testing, compatibility was about making sure your layout didn’t break in Netscape. As applications changed to single-page apps, mobile-first designs, and multi-device…  ( 6 min )

Basically there are 3 types: Basic Authentication, Bearer Authentication and Cookie Authentication. I will give a super brief explanation of them which can serve as a quick-remembering-guide for example. Besides that, I mention some connected topics to keep in mind without going into more detail and I have a quick code snippet as well. The simplest and oldest type - but it's insecure. So do not use it, just know about it. It's been in HTTP since version 1 and simply includes the credentials in the request: Authorization: Basic As you see, we set the HTTP header Authorization to the string username:password, encode it with base64 and prefix Basic. The server then decodes the value, that is, remove Basic and decode base64, and then checks if the credentials are c…  ( 5 min )

Kitty - A secure, encryption-focused configuration management tool written in Rust I built Kitty to solve a problem I faced while managing configuration files across servers: I wanted Git-like tracking for system config files, but with built-in encryption and the ability to keep files in their original locations. What is Kitty? Secure configuration management tool with Git-like commands Files remain in their original locations (no need to symlink like with dotfiles managers) All stored content is encrypted with ChaCha20-Poly1305 Password-protected repository access Choose between file-based or SQLite storage Works with system files that might require elevated privileges Core features: Track, version, and restore configuration files See differences between tracked and current versions Filter and group tracked files Restore previous versions when needed Privilege handling for system files Kitty is designed for sysadmins, DevOps engineers, and anyone who wants to securely track configuration files without moving them into a Git repository. The project is open source and written in Rust. It focuses on security first, with all sensitive content encrypted, making it suitable for tracking credentials and other sensitive configurations. GitHub repo: https://github.com/kometen/kitty I'd love feedback from the HN community, especially on the security model and additional features that would be useful for your configuration management workflow.  ( 3 min )

Note: I am primarily using this as a study tool as I'm upskilling my foundational knowledge. With this in mind, this document is ongoing, and I'll likely be updating it weekly. Opening and closing tags: Note: omitting the closing tag at the end of a file can be beneficial so you don't have any unwanted white space at the end of the file Printing: echo 'This prints to the screen.'; Commenting: One line: # This is a one-line comment in PHP Multi-line: /* This is a multi- line comment in PHP */ Checking variable type: var_dump($var_name); Comparing Floats: Note: Comparing floats in PHP is tricky because of precision. The following is a workaround for that limitation. String Definitions: 'this is a string' "this is a string" or echo 'this line prints a {$var}'; String concatenation uses a . rather than a + in PHP. I used PHP's documentation as the source of my information here. Some of the code will be similar or identical.  ( 3 min )

Logs are your primary tool for understanding what your API is doing in production. But many developers fall into two extremes: Too little logging, and you're blind in production. Too much logging, and you're drowning in noise, cost, or leaked sensitive data.

Laura Kankaala, Head of Threat Intelligence, F-Secure Cyber criminals have made scamming a trillion-dollar business. As technology and the internet evolve, so do scams, making them the biggest threat consumers face every time they go online or use their phone. While organizations have been trying to keep up with scammers by employing different types of cybersecurity approaches and frameworks, that same focus has been missing in consumer cybersecurity - until now. The cybersecurity industry often focuses on specific instances of scams, like someone pretending to be Brad Pitt on a dating app, or a user accidentally clicking on a malicious social media ad. We also seem to focus a lot on the psychological aspects of a scam, like certain manipulation tricks that are employed. But putting too mu…  ( 5 min )

Your website takes 8 seconds to load. In those 8 seconds, half your visitors just left. They're now on your competitor's site, credit card in hand.

Your OpenAPI spec is the contract that defines how consumers interact with your API. It powers visual tools that help developers understand, test, and integrate with your endpoints. This spec powers visual tools that help developers understand, test, and integrate with your API.

I've learned it the hard way... If you use the recently released Grok-3 Mini reasoning model (which is great by the way) you might have your token usage reported wrong... While both OpenAI and xAI report reasoning usage in usage.completion_tokens_details.reasoning_tokens field: OpenAI includes reasoning tokens in usage.completion_tokens xAI doesn't include Hence for OpenAI (and according to my tests for Deepseek R1) in order to get the total tokens you can use the old good completion_tokens field. With xAI you need to add up the 2 values to get the right totals (and get you cost estimations correct). Neither litellm nor AG2 (out of recently used LLM libs) adjust the reported usage for that Grok's quirk. Grok API provides a compatible OpenAI endpoint. For reasoning models the didn't invent the wheel and use the standard reasoning_effort parameter just like OpenAI does with its' o1/o3/o4 models. Yet for some reasons xAI decided to deviate from OpenAI's approach to reasoning tokens accounting. That's unfortunate this inconsistency got into prod API from xAI.  ( 3 min )

This-driven development, that-driven development, and now you should bother with this other thing? I am only half-serious. You should not. Yet you might still want to consider it as a litmus test for your projects. I am not saying that you should use Software Development Kits (SDKs) for development. We all do. Rather, I am asking you to think of your codebase and product as an SDK or part of it. But first, what is all this XYZ-driven development? XYZ simply refers to the guiding principle or artifact that drives the development process. Mind you, this is not necessarily a methodology like "Agile" or "Waterfall", which drive the organization of the development process. I like to think of this distinction as follows: You gather all the developers in a room and organize them to work on a proj…  ( 6 min )

Ever tried using a mobile app that felt... off? Maybe the buttons didn’t respond quite right, or it lagged at the worst moment, like when you were about to hit "confirm" on a payment. Chances are, that app wasn’t built natively. In today’s development world, there’s a lot of noise around frameworks that promise to “build once, run everywhere.” Sounds great, right? But despite the rise of cross-platform tools, there’s a quiet but steady group of developers and companies who still pick native mobile app development, and they’ve got good reasons.

When creating Helm templates, referencing dynamic values can sometimes be tricky. In your case, you want to access two variables dynamically to retrieve a specific value from your values.yaml file based on the keys defined. ### Understanding the Problem In the provided Helm template, you're trying to access a nested dictionary where both keys depend on dynamic values. Given the owners structure in values.yaml, you want to be able to reference the correct owner based on the dynamic $data_access.name. It's essential to correctly format the reference so that Helm understands which variable to use when fetching the value. ### The Helm Template Structure Here's your original template code for quick reference: {{ $owners := $valuesDict.owners }} {{ $ownerci := $owners.$data_access.name.ci }} #Ge…  ( 4 min )

Hoisting is a fundamental concept in JavaScript that often leads to confusion, especially for those new to the language. Understanding how hoisting works can help you write cleaner and more predictable code. This article explains what hoisting is, how it works, and the differences in behavior between various types of declarations. Hoisting is JavaScript’s default behavior of moving declarations to the top of their scope before code execution. This means that variables and functions can be referenced before they are declared in the code. It is important to note that only declarations are hoisted, not initializations. var Variables declared with var are hoisted and initialized with undefined. Consider the following example: console.log(a); // undefined var a = 10; Internally, this is inte…  ( 4 min )

As I started learning Flask, I was building simple apps just to understand the basics and get comfortable with it. Once I felt a bit more confident, I decided to start a project, a site monitoring tool. Since I knew the project would grow and include more functionality, I realized that things should be organized better. That’s when I came across Flask Blueprints. A Blueprint is a modular way to organize code and routes into separate components. Today, I set up my first Blueprint in Flask and here’s how it went. blueprint-example/ ├── run.py └── app/ └── routes.py └── __init__.py └── templates/ └── index.html from flask import Blueprint,render_template #creating a flask blueprint called 'main_route' main_route=Blueprint('main_route',__name__) #define a route on this blueprint @main_route.route('/') def blue_example(): return render_template('index.html') from flask import Flask app=Flask(__name__) def blue_example(): from .routes import main_route app.register_blueprint(main_route)#registering my blueprint to my flask app instance return app from app import blue_example app=blue_example()#Calling a function to get flask app instance if __name__ == '__main__': app.run(debug=True) #run the app in debug mode I basically had an idea of how this works because I had learned about MVC (Model, View, and Controller) in Java. The working process of both is quite similar, so I was able to grasp it a bit quicker. Here are a few things I found helpful about using Blueprints: It's a clean way to split the code logically. For example, separating routes and the dashboard into components makes the structure much easier to work with. It's much easier to manage as the app grows and more features are added. It makes the project more organized and scalable, which is especially useful when working in teams or revisiting the project later.  ( 3 min )

As chatbots become essential in customer service, e-commerce, healthcare, and more, ensuring they function correctly and efficiently has become a top priority. Chatbot testing ensures that conversations are accurate, context-aware, and provide a seamless user experience. Traditional testing methods often fall short due to the complexity and unpredictability of natural language. That’s where Artificial Intelligence (AI) steps in to revolutionize chatbot testing. In this guide, we’ll explore how to test chatbots using AI, examine whether legacy tools can keep up, and outline how automation powered by AI can transform your testing strategy. Can Legacy Automation Tools Handle Chatbots? Here’s why: Lack of Natural Language Processing (NLP) support: Traditional tools can’t interpret or generate human language. Enhancing Chatbot Testing with AI 1. Intent Recognition Testing 2. Entity Extraction Validation 3. Sentiment Analysis 4. Context Awareness Testing 5. Training Data Quality Checks Automating Chatbot Testing with AI ✅ Automated Test Case Generation ✅ Regression Testing ✅ Conversational Flow Testing ✅ Exploratory Testing ✅ Real-Time Feedback Conclusion Artificial Intelligence offers the agility, adaptability, and contextual understanding required for comprehensive chatbot testing. From enhancing existing test cases with NLP to automating complex flows and analyzing training data quality, AI is reshaping how we ensure chatbot reliability and effectiveness. Incorporating AI into your chatbot testing strategy isn’t just an upgrade — it’s a necessity for delivering meaningful, human-like conversational experiences.  ( 4 min )

Generating large random numbers is a common requirement in programming, especially in applications requiring strong randomness. The standard rand() function in C generates pseudo-random numbers, which often fall short in range and size for many applications. In particular, generating unsigned long long random numbers can be challenging, especially if you find that the outputs of rand() are not sufficiently large and they often exceed certain thresholds. Why the Standard rand() Does Not Meet Your Needs The rand() function is designed for simplicity and it typically returns a value in the range from 0 to RAND_MAX, which is defined in stdlib.h. The maximum value returned by rand() is often just 32767, making it unsuitable for generating large random numbers like those represented by an unsign…  ( 5 min )

I worked for a FAANG company for a bit, and one thing that surprised me was just how many tasks were manual. How noticeably patchy the tooling and automation coverage was. But also very obviously their tooling and automation was state of the art and much more sophisticated than small tech. But I think there's basic math at play. If I work at a small company and have 100 things, and 50% are automated, then I need say 50 engineers to handle the workload. But if I work at big tech, and there are 100,000 things, and 75% are automated, then I need 25,000 engineers to handle the workload. There's also the algorithm optimization. While I think alogrithmic optimizations will trickle down, and that's good. For (AlphaEvolve)[https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43985489] to have a 1% speedup in most small to medium size businesses. Fine, but that's not worth spending a lot of time on. But for AlphaEvolve to have a 1% speedup at google? May save millions of dollars. The point of which is to say, there's probably lots of ways that this will trickle down to every day users, and software engineers across the board may see more and more of their tasks automated, but a continuous truism in the industry is that what works for big tech often doesn't work for you medium-sized MSP. This might explain the difference between why Google says that AI can write 30% of it's code, and medium sized business struggle to get it to work. There's just a lot less boilerplate to right at medium sized businesses. At google, being able to automatically upgrade a node.js dependency may literally impact thousands of microservices, saving thousands of engineering hours. At your company it might save a few hours, if it doesn't take longer than that to get it going in the first place.  ( 3 min )

As the web continues to evolve, the need for faster, more efficient communication between browsers and servers has driven the development of modern protocols. HTTP/1.1, introduced in 1997, served the web for nearly two decades. But with increasing demand for speed, efficiency, and performance, HTTP/2 emerged as a much-needed upgrade. Let’s explore the major differences between these two protocols in a clear, visual, and easy-to-understand way. HTTP/1.1 is a text-based protocol that works on a request-response model. While it has served its purpose for years, it has several limitations: Sequential Requests: Only one request is allowed per TCP connection at a time, leading to blocking. Multiple Connections: To fetch multiple resources, browsers open multiple TCP connections, which increases …  ( 3 min )

🗥️ So I was casually doomscrolling X (yes, again)... when I stumbled upon a post by DEV Community that made my brain short-circuit: ✨ “ScoutDB turns plain English into MongoDB queries.” Wait, what?! You've got the data questions, but not always the query-fu: "Find all users who joined after Jan 2023 and liked more than 5 posts" Normally, you'd need to hand-craft some MongoDB incantation like: db.users.aggregate([ { $match: { joinDate: { $gte: ISODate("2023-01-01") }, likes: { $gt: 5 } } } ]) But what if you could skip the syntax pain? ScoutDB is like having a friendly AI that: ✅ Understands what you're trying to ask in English explore like a boss You type: Show me all posts with more than 100 likes created in the last 30 days ScoutDB replies with: db.posts.find({ likes: { $gt: 100 }, createdAt: { $gte: new Date(Date.now() - 30*24*60*60*1000) } }) Then maps the results and relationships for you in a visual explorer. No more $lookup headaches. No more crying in JSON. Saw this post by @ThePracticalDev on X 👇 (I swear MongoDB and ScoutDB logos look like they just agreed to rescue all devs from query hell) 🗣️ English → MongoDB query? ✅ 🧠 Auto-maps your schema? ✅ 🎨 Visual canvas for data exploration? ✅ 🧣 Found it while doomscrolling Twitter?

Elm’s type system lets you write clear, correct code without the clutter of explicit type annotations. Its friendly compiler not only infers types automatically but also provides helpful error messages that guide you toward writing sound code. In this post, we'll explore practical examples that highlight how Elm’s type inference and compiler feedback enhance code correctness and simplify your development experience. When coding in Elm, the compiler deduces the types of values based on their usage. This lets you focus on application logic rather than on managing repetitive type declarations. Consider a simple arithmetic function: square x = x * x Since the multiplication operator (*) applies only to numbers, Elm infers that x must be a number. No extra annotations are needed, keeping y…  ( 5 min )

When people create new accounts, it’s normal for you to need a way of contacting them with onboarding information, billing alerts, and more. That’s why having the right email address is so important. However, what if they made a typo when providing the email address? Or they simply want to create an account without any real interest in using the service as intended? In either case you’ll want to verify that they can access the email address they’ve given you. The simplest approach adopted by most is to send a unique link in an email to that address, and have a user click on that link to verify their account. It’s simple, but it works. But how can you test this kind of workflow with Selenium? Why can’t Selenium test this already? While Selenium is an extremely capable tool for testing web c…  ( 4 min )

Yes, this was written with the help of AI, but hear me out! Most tutorials and videos miss this detail, which is the right scope of work in the context of an AI coding tool (like Cursor, etc.). They might say, "keep it short," but what exactly is that? We've all been in a place where we go down a rabbit hole for hours and lose track. This article will help you get that under control! When you're working with AI in a chat window—like building a new feature in a SaaS multi-tenant app—it’s easy to get lost in the weeds. Should you build the whole thing at once? Go step by step?

Every morning I gift myself 90 mins to work on anything I desire. Sometimes I read interesting books (1, 2, 3, 4), other times I learn new skills (5, 6) but most times I work on programming projects. For a long time now those programming projects have been Elm related. What can I say? I simply enjoy using Elm. I've tried to share my knowledge along the way by taking the time to reflect on what I've done and by writing about it from my perspective. On many occasions I just shared the work and put off sharing my thoughts about the work for so long that it became a chore to write about it. Reflecting and writing about my programming selfishly helps me improve my software development skills. Writing in public forces me to think more deeply about what I'm doing and why I'm doing it such that it gives me a richer understanding of my craft. A positive side effect is that what I share could also potentially help others. Though, I try to temper my hubris and not fool myself into thinking that random people on the internet actually care about what I have to say. Given that I sometimes don't share and write about my work as often as I'd like and that I think sharing and writing about my work helps myself and others, I've decided to start a new series on this blog called "Diary of an Elm Developer". It's a way for me to give myself permission to share more frequently about my Elm related excursions in an open and freer format. I'm feeling excited about this new series. Stay tuned! If you're interested in improving your skills with Elm then I invite you to subscribe to my newsletter, Elm with Dwayne. To learn more about it, please read this announcement.  ( 3 min )

Hello DEV community 👋 My name is Alireza Minagar, and I come from a rather unique background — as a neurologist, researcher, and now a software engineering student. After years of diagnosing complex neurological conditions, I’ve begun exploring how artificial intelligence and software can revolutionize healthcare. Surprisingly, many skills from my medical background translate directly into programming. Here are 5 lessons from neurology that shape how I now think about software engineering: In medicine, we never treat a symptom without understanding its root cause. Debugging works the same way — don’t guess. Investigate. Analyzing EEGs or MRIs is about spotting patterns. Writing efficient code or identifying logical bugs requires the same cognitive muscle. Whether prescribing medication or defining logic in code, tiny errors can lead to serious consequences. Precision builds trust — in both healthcare and software. Medical professionals live by notes. In code, comments, READMEs, and clear commit messages keep everything healthy and maintainable. In both medicine and tech, decisions have real consequences. Transparent, explainable algorithms are just as vital as informed consent. I’m currently learning Python, full-stack engineering, and bioinformatics with the goal of contributing to healthcare-focused AI solutions. Let’s build a world where medical insight and machine logic support — not replace — human care. — Alireza Minagar, MD, MBA, MS LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/alirezaminagar Medium: medium.com/@aminagar_38889  ( 3 min )

For the longest time, the "separation of concerns" has been the ultimate guiding principle of software engineering. We thus structure our codebases accordingly: Grouping related files by responsibility; Partitioning logic by technical layers; And sometimes even isolating by programming language.1 Popular architectural patterns such as the Model-View-Controller (MVC) have applied and codified this principle to the point of dogma. Universities, bootcamps, and courses everywhere teach and perpetuate the notion that the MVC architecture is the be-all and end-all of architectural patterns. To be fair, the MVC architecture is indeed often the correct mental model for fathoming any CRUD-heavy application (i.e., virtually 99.9% of web applications2) because it formalizes the flow of data from t…  ( 6 min )

Last year, I intensely started using AI (LLM) tools and caught a terrible wave of sadness and melancholy after 5–6 months of use. For me, the most difficult thing wasn’t that an LLM could write code in general, but the realization that, in fact, it’s not that important. A much more significant abstract question arose: why even write it if everything could change so quickly tomorrow that you wouldn’t even blink? After feeling down and literally being sick of it, and wandering through bookstores, I stumbled upon an interesting book — “The Art of Excellent Products: Enchanting Customers with Premium Brand Experiences” by Riccardo Illy. And this book resonated so deeply that I understood how to resolve (for the time being) the moral dilemma with AI code, when you don’t write the code yourself,…  ( 4 min )

Sony’s eyeing another round of PS5 price hikes after warning that new US tariffs could hit it to the tune of roughly ¥100 billion (£513 million). Despite sitting on three months’ worth of US stock, the console maker is “evaluating” whether to pass those extra costs on to gamers. It’s already bumped the digital PS5 up by £40/€50 across the UK, Europe, Australia and New Zealand this spring, on top of previous—and even steeper—price rises in Japan. To dodge ongoing tariff roulette, Sony exec Hiroki Totoki said shifting some PS5 production to the US “needs to be considered going forward” as an “efficient strategy.” No US price hikes have landed yet, even as rivals like Microsoft and Nintendo tweak their own hardware costs in response to the same trade tangle.  ( 3 min )

TL;DR: Doom The Dark Ages might be a blast on PC and consoles, but on Steam Deck it’s straight-up “nightmare” territory. Even with XeSS Quality set to low and resolution cranked down to 1280×720 (and later 960×540), SteamDeckHQ could barely eke out 30 FPS in open areas—and those dips into the mid-20s make everything blurry, pixelated and generally unplayable. If you’re eyeing the Deck as your go-to, steer clear—for now at least. Patches might improve performance down the line, but there’s no guarantee. If you want demon-slaying glory without constant frame-rate faceplants, stick to PC, PS5 or Xbox Series X/S.  ( 3 min )

After getting bumped from late 2025 to May 26, 2026, GTA 6 still isn’t locked in—Bloomberg insider Jason Schreier warns there’s “no guarantee” Rockstar will hit that window. The first delay already sent panic through the industry, with other developers shifting their own launches to dodge the Grand Theft Auto onslaught. While a second slip hasn’t been announced, rival studios and especially PC players are bracing for more slippage—meaning even when consoles finally get the game, the PC port could be pushed way further down the road.  ( 3 min )

TL;DR: Steve Downes, the legendary voice of Master Chief, is rallying Halo fans to back the 10-month-long SAG-AFTRA video game voice actors strike. The crux of the dispute? AI voice replication—actors want control over if and how their voices are used, not a blanket ban on AI. Downes (joined by Cortana’s Jen Taylor and veteran Jennifer Hale) stresses, “We’re not against AI, just its misuse,” and urges gamers to make some noise until the “Last, Best, and Final” offer on the table addresses those AI concerns. After other issues found middle ground, this remains the sticking point that could make or break a deal.  ( 3 min )

Meta’s new gig: get paid to smile, squat, and chat Meta has quietly kicked off “Project Warhol,” a data-collection effort run through Appen, that pays participants $50 an hour to record facial expressions, body movements (think squats), and even small talk. The goal? To supercharge the realism of its VR avatars for the metaverse—and ultimately make everyone’s digital doppelgänger a lot less robotic. Why now? A make-or-break 2025 for Reality Labs Reality Labs has bled about $60 billion since 2020, and Meta’s calling 2025 its most critical year for VR, avatars, and AI wearables. By crowdsourcing human data, Zuckerberg hopes to finally level up Meta’s metaverse cred and turn those once-mocked cartoon avatars into something you’d actually want hanging out with.  ( 3 min )

TL;DR: Google DeepMind’s new AI agent, AlphaEvolve, teams up with Gemini LLMs and an evolutionary test-and-refine loop to invent entire computer algorithms—and it’s already live inside Google’s infrastructure. It’s boosted Borg cluster efficiency by 0.7%, trimmed bits off TPU circuits, and even sped up Gemini model training kernels by 23% (cutting overall training time 1%), all while churning out human-readable code. But AlphaEvolve isn’t just optimizing data centers—it’s smashing math records. Using its gradient-based evolution, it beat Strassen’s 56-year-old 4×4 matrix-multiply record, improved 14 algorithms, and tackled 50+ open problems (nailing or improving 75% of them), including setting a new 11-dimensional “kissing number” high score. With its plug-and-play approach, DeepMind hopes to spin out breakthroughs in material science, drug discovery, and beyond.  ( 3 min )

There is a good chance that when you hear "San Francisco," you immediately think of cable cars. These moving national landmarks have been continually operating since 1873. This technology relies on tracks and a robust underlying cable technology, mostly hidden away from the public eye. This made SF the perfect backdrop for conversations about a modern technology that needs tracks and guardrails: agentic AI.  If there was a common thread among the conversations at this year's RSA Conference, it was the emergence of agentic AI as an operational "colleague," not just a tool.

In fact, it handles 95% of ATM transactions and supports nearly half of the world’s banking systems. The simple answer is : Because it works. And it’s been working for decades. It’s embedded in banking, insurance, government systems – you name it. 200,000 COBOL experts are on the verge of retirement this year, and as per Gartner, almost 70% of enterprises don’t train new devs in COBOL anymore.

Performance matters — especially when dealing with large-scale systems or performance-critical code. Go (Golang) provides first-class support for benchmarking via the testing package. This article walks you through the fundamentals of benchmarking in Go: what it is, why it's important, and how to run benchmarks to compare multiple functions. Benchmarking is the process of measuring how efficiently a piece of code executes. In Go, this typically involves determining how long a function takes to run, how many resources it uses, or how well it scales under load. Benchmarking is different from testing — it doesn’t check if your code is correct but it checks how well it performs. Benchmarking is useful when you want to: Compare different implementations of the same logic (e.g., using + vs strin…  ( 4 min )

The term RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) refers to a hybrid AI framework that combines information retrieval (like Googling) with large language models (LLMs) to deliver accurate, context-aware answers. Unlike traditional LLMs that generate responses based solely on pre-trained knowledge, RAG grounds its answers in real-time, external data, minimizing errors and hallucinations. Why RAG Matters LLMs like GPT-4 excel at generating text but face limitations: Static knowledge: They can’t access up-to-date or domain-specific data. Hallucinations: They may invent plausible-sounding but incorrect facts. RAG solves this by dynamically retrieving relevant information before generating a response, ensuring answers are factual, current, and contextually grounded.

Email spoofing remains one of the most prevalent cybersecurity threats organisations face today. When attackers successfully impersonate your email domain, they can damage your brand reputation, compromise sensitive information, and defraud your customers and partners. DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance) provides a powerful solution to combat these threats. This article explains how DMARC works, its benefits, and how to implement it effectively, including the emerging VMC (Verified Mark Certificate) technology. Email spoofing occurs when attackers forge the sender's address to make it appear as though an email originated from a legitimate source. This technique is commonly used in: Phishing attacks Business Email Compromise (BEC) scams Malware distribut…  ( 6 min )

First of all, I want to extend a heartfelt thank you for all the support you showed during my successful series of 20 weekly articles on distributed systems, which I completed in March. I will occasionally post articles on distributed systems if I come across topics that should be added. Your engagement and feedback have been incredibly motivating, and I'm excited to announce my next series on Dev.to! Starting this Sunday, I will be launching a new series focused on system design, inspired by the book Righting Software by Juval Löwy. This book is divided into two parts: system design and project design. My series will concentrate on the system design aspect. Weekly Articles: Every Sunday, I will release a new article that delves into various system design techniques and principles. We will dive into the real world examples. Comprehensive Coverage: While the book will serve as a reference, it is not necessary to have it. My articles will cover almost everything you need to know. Practical Insights: You will learn an amazing system design technique that I personally find invaluable. I use it in all my projects, whether they are small or large, professional or personal. Hands on: I will also try to deliver some hands on projects where people following will dive deeper into the concepts. I had the privilege of attending a System Design cohort led by Jeff Doolittle. The insights and knowledge I gained from that experience, combined with my day-to-day work on real-life systems, will be reflected in this series. I am committed to delivering the most valuable content, drawing from both the book and my practical experiences. Stay tuned, and don't forget to follow me to get the latest updates! Thank you once again for your support. Let's embark on this exciting journey of mastering system design together!  ( 3 min )

Having too few people with deployment authority reduces software delivery performance. Developer experience and burnout may have put platform engineering in the spotlight, but focusing on continuous delivery will likely improve developer experience (DevEx) the most at your organization. There is, however, a speed bump ahead for those automating their deployment pipeline: deployment gatekeepers. If you don’t increase the number of people with deployment authority, you’ll miss many of the benefits of continuous delivery. A single deployment gatekeeper will lower your chances of getting a return on your investment within the first 100 days and permanently limit your software delivery performance. So, how does this happen? There is a dramatic shift in your work system once you automate your de…  ( 5 min )

Due to project requirements, we needed the data quality module, which offers excellent data quality monitoring capabilities for data warehouses. Therefore, we decided to upgrade from the existing 2.0 version to 3.0 or above. We tested both versions 3.0.1 and 3.1.1 by running identical task scheduling operations such as pausing tasks. In the end, we chose version 3.0.1. Reasons: When testing SQL tasks in 3.1.1, launching hundreds of SQL tasks simultaneously caused errors that prevented many tasks from running properly. After consulting the community experts, it was confirmed to be a bug in DolphinScheduler. Although this issue occasionally appears in 3.0.1 as well, it is much less frequent. Versions above DS 3.0.1 use a newer version of the ZooKeeper dependency. The driver version is 3.8.…  ( 15 min )

A chatbot (originally chatterbot)[1] is a software application or web interface designed to have textual or spoken conversations.[2][3][4] Modern chatbots are typically online and use generative artificial intelligence systems that are capable of maintaining a conversation with a user in natural language and simulating the way a human would behave as a conversational partner. Such chatbots often use deep learning and natural language processing, but simpler chatbots have existed for decades. Although chatbots have existed since the late 1960s, the field gained widespread attention in the early 2020s due to the popularity of OpenAI's ChatGPT,[5][6] followed by alternatives such as Microsoft's Copilot, DeepSeek and Google's Gemini.[7] Such examples reflect the recent practice of basing such…  ( 3 min )

A couple of months ago I joined CloudRift, tagging along my long time peer Dmitry in his new venture. One of the first things that came up was setting up log aggregation — something many projects start without, but quickly realize they need after spinning up more than one server. It should be a mundane task after having done this a few times, but yet again, there is a twist and something new to discover. I pull out my usual cards and start with ELK, since even though there are serious contenders out there, I still find Kibana unbeatable, and most people love it. CloudRift deploys its agents on pools of nodes which in turn communicate with an orchestrator that acts as a centralized resource broker. While in most scenarios log forwarding is handled by a daemon, like filebeat or fluentd, with…  ( 11 min )

In the world of digital marketing and SEO, we often focus heavily on content, backlinks, and keywords. However, one often overlooked factor is server management—a technical area that has a surprisingly significant impact on site performance and rankings. Google considers page speed and uptime when ranking websites. If your site takes too long to load or frequently goes down, your rankings can be negatively affected. Some of the key server-side factors that influence SEO include: Server response time (TTFB) Downtime or hosting issues Poor load balancing or caching strategies Misconfigured SSL or redirects These aren't typically in an SEO’s toolkit, but they have direct consequences. Recently, while working with a client whose site was experiencing random slowdowns, we discovered the issue was rooted in unmanaged server processes consuming too many resources. After a server audit and implementing best practices (including log rotation, performance monitoring, and scaling strategies), we saw a measurable improvement in Core Web Vitals and a 12% increase in organic traffic in 3 weeks. For those unfamiliar with these tasks, there are server management teams that handle these backend operations seamlessly, allowing businesses to focus on growth while maintaining technical health. SEO isn't just about keywords and content. If you're ignoring server-side optimization, you're leaving potential growth on the table. Collaborating with developers and sysadmins—or understanding their pain points—can give you a competitive edge in search results. Have you ever encountered server issues that affected your SEO performance? Let's discuss in the comments.  ( 3 min )

We're excited to share some awesome news from RailsFactory! Meet Cloud Attachment Pro - a fresh, community-driven Redmine plugin developed by our brilliant team member, Sivamanikandan.

Cloud Attachment Pro solves this by enabling Redmine to store attachments in a variety of cloud storage backends including: Amazon S3 Google Clo…  ( 4 min )

In Object-Oriented Programming (OOP), HAS-A and IS-A relationships are fundamental concepts used to describe how classes and objects relate to each other. While these apply to many OOP languages like Java or C#, the principles are universal. IS-A Relationship (Inheritance) Represents: A subtype relationship (child → parent) Mechanism: Achieved through inheritance. Implies: The derived class is a type of the base class. Usage: Use when there’s a clear hierarchical relationship. public class Animal { public void Eat() => Console.WriteLine("Eating..."); } public class Dog : Animal { public void Bark() => Console.WriteLine("Barking..."); } // Usage Dog dog = new Dog(); dog.Eat(); // Inherited dog.Bark(); // Dog-specific Dog IS-A Animal. HAS-A Relationship (Composition) Represents: A class containing references to other classes as members. Mechanism: Achieved through composition (member variables). Implies: A class has a reference to another class. Usage: Use when one object uses another. public class Engine { public void Start() => Console.WriteLine("Engine starting..."); } public class Car { private Engine engine = new Engine(); public void StartCar() { engine.Start(); Console.WriteLine("Car started."); } } // Usage Car car = new Car(); car.StartCar(); Car HAS-A Engine. Aspect IS-A HAS-A Meaning Inheritance (child ← parent) Composition (class contains) Implementation class B : A {} class A { B b; } Example Dog : Animal Car has Engine Use Case Reuse behavior via inheritance Delegate tasks via composition Polymorphism Supported Not directly Prefer composition (HAS-A) over inheritance (IS-A) when possible (favor delegation for flexibility). Use IS-A only when the subclass truly fulfills the contract of the superclass (Liskov Substitution Principle).  ( 3 min )

I continue to take care of my Home Assistant. This week, I replaced my original setup with Cloudflare Tunnel. My usage of Home Assistant required external access from the beginning. I achieved it in two steps: I created a subdomain of frankel.ch, which pointed to my router's external IP. On my router, I opened a dedicated port. In turn, the router forwarded requests to my HA. The next action was to secure connections via an SSL certificate. I initially aimed for mTLS, but I couldn't achieve it because the iPhone HA application doesn't support it.

The D programming language, commonly known as DLang, offered a fresh perspective on system-level programming by blending familiar features of C++ with modern mechanisms to enhance code safety, simplicity, and performance. Created by Walter Bright, it is meant to be a viable alternative to C++ for developers seeking to improve productivity and code safety while maintaining the low-level control that C++ offers. DLang is a general-purpose, statically typed programming language with many parallels to C++. Like C++, it supports object-oriented programming, manual memory management and systems programming. However, DLang builds on these fundamentals by introducing features that mitigate some of the complexities and pitfalls of C++, like garbage collection.

Unit Test Unit testing is a type of software testing where individual units or components of a software are tested in isolation. The purpose is to validate that each unit of the software performs as expected. A unit is the smallest testable part of an application, such as a function, method, or class. Arrange-Act-Assert(AAA) is a simple and effective pattern for writing clear and structured unit tests: Arrange-set up the necessary objects and state, Act-perfom the action you want to test, Assert-verify that the action produced the expected result. Commenting the AAA phases is recommended, especially during learning, in shared codebases, or for more complex test cases. It improves readability, consistency, and maintainability of tests.

Ever wanted to animate something on scroll without reaching for JavaScript? Well, good news: modern CSS has a new trick up its sleeve called animation-timeline: scroll() — and it’s surprisingly powerful. Let me show you what it is, how it works, and why you might want to use it in your next project. ⸻ 🌀 What Is animation-timeline: scroll()? Traditionally, CSS animations run on a timeline based on time (seconds, milliseconds, etc.). But with this new feature, the animation is synced to the scroll position of an element. That means: the more you scroll, the further along the animation progresses — and when you stop scrolling, the animation pauses too. No JavaScript. No ScrollTrigger. Just clean CSS. ⸻ ✏️ A Simple Example Here’s a quick setup I made: <div id="square"…  ( 5 min )

As LLMs like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Grok soar in popularity, the Spiderly library stands out by addressing what they can’t yet fully handle: project architecture that demands a broader perspective and deeper understanding. Developers leaning heavily on LLMs without grasping the generated code are more prone to errors that, if they slip into production, take longer to fix. Spiderly minimizes those risks. With Spiderly.CLI tool you create a solid foundation with whole app structure, email auth, Google auth, logging etc. Then, the Entity Administration Source Generator builds everything you need for entity management. From there, you focus your brainpower on solving the end user’s specific problems. The star of Spiderly is its Entity Administration Source Generator (Spiderly.SourceGenerators project), a standalone tool.

The Art of Clean React: Principles for Maintainable Components 🎨 Single Responsibility Principle (SRP): One Job, One Component 🎯 Just like functions should do one thing well, so should your components. A component should ideally have a single, well-defined purpose. If a component starts handling too many responsibilities (managing multiple unrelated states, fetching diverse data, rendering complex unrelated UI), it becomes harder to reason about and more prone to breaking.   Bad Example (Multiple Responsibilities): Imagine a component that fetches user data and handles form submissions for a new address. Good Example (Separated Responsibilities): Break this down into two components: one responsible for fetching and displaying user data (UserProfile), and another for handling the address…  ( 5 min )

I wrote this post originally on my website : https://alsohelp.com/blog/rails-8-opinion If you want to see the final app, just ask me ;) Here is the article below : Here is my 2 cents after 10 years with Rails and 6 months with Rails 8 in production. The most surprising part is probably that they are proud of removing parts in a brand new version. I view it as an excellent sign of maturity. The subtitle of Rails 8 is "no PaaS required", but they could have also said : "No React required", "No Redis required", and so on. What a relief. Any shiny new framework is proud about "what's new under the sun", not "what's deleted to simplify devs life". The first excellent part is what didn't move. The domain swallows all the complexity, as it did 15 years ago. The controllers are still the same, ver…  ( 4 min )

What Are Computer Networks? A computer network is a group of interconnected devices that can communicate and share resources. Think of it as the digital nervous system that connects computers, phones, servers, and more—allowing data to flow like information highways. Used in homes, schools, and offices. Connects devices in a small area. Covers a large geographic area. The Internet is the biggest WAN. Covers a city or a large campus. Larger than LAN but smaller than WAN. Your Bluetooth devices form a PAN—like your phone and earbuds. Router: Directs data packets between networks. Switch: Connects multiple devices in a LAN. Modem: Connects to your ISP and provides internet access. Access Point: Enables wireless devices to connect to the network. Server & Client: Server provides, client consumes services/data. Physical Data Link Network Transport Session Presentation Application Each layer has a specific role—from moving bits to enabling web apps. More practical and used in real-world networking: Link Internet Transport Application HTTP/HTTPS – Web browsing FTP/SFTP – File transfers SMTP/IMAP/POP3 – Email TCP/UDP – Data transport IP – Routing and addressing DNS – Resolves domain names to IPs Whether you're streaming Netflix, sending a meme, or backing up your files to the cloud—computer networks make it all happen. They're the silent enablers of our digital lives. 🧠 Fun Fact: The first message ever sent over the ARPANET (the Internet’s ancestor) was "LO"—they meant to type "LOGIN" but the system crashed! Stay tuned, stay connected, and maybe ping your friend instead of ghosting them. Tools That Help: Wireshark, Cisco Packet Tracer, Netcat, Nmap, and a whole lot of curiosity.  ( 3 min )

What is a Callback? A callback is a function passed into another function, to be called later when something happens or a task is finished. Analogy: Imagine you order food and give the restaurant your phone number so they can call you when your food is ready. Your phone number is the callback. JavaScript is single-threaded and often needs to wait for things (like loading data or waiting for a user action). Instead of stopping everything, it uses callbacks to say, “Do this later, when the waiting is done.” function doSomethingLater(callback) { console.log("Doing something..."); callback(); } function sayHello() { console.log("Hello, I'm the callback!"); } doSomethingLater(sayHello); Output: Doing something... Hello, I'm the callback! doSomethingLater(function() { console.log("This is an inline callback!"); }); setTimeout and setInterval setTimeout(function() { console.log("This runs after 2 seconds"); }, 2000); Event Listeners button.addEventListener('click', function() { console.log("Button clicked!"); }); Fetching Data (with Promises, but still uses callbacks) fetch('https://api.example.com/data') .then(function(response) { return response.json(); }) .then(function(data) { console.log(data); }); Callbacks are not always asynchronous. Some callbacks are called right away. Callbacks are just functions. There’s nothing special about them except how they’re used. Callback Cheat Sheet Definition: A callback is a function you pass to another function to be called later. Basic Example: function callback() { ... } someFunction(callback); Anonymous Example: someFunction(function() { ... }); Typical Uses: setTimeout, setInterval Event handling (like clicks) Fetching data from APIs Key Point: Callbacks help JavaScript handle tasks that take time, so your code can keep running without waiting.  ( 3 min )

In Android development, particularly within the AOSP (Android Open Source Project), managing concurrency is critical when designing reliable and thread-safe components. Two core techniques often used for this are: Handler (and its related Looper mechanism) The synchronized keyword (Java-level mutual exclusion) While both can help manage shared state across threads, they serve very different purposes. Understanding when to use each can be the difference between clean concurrency and subtle deadlocks. A Handler in Android is a mechanism to post messages or runnables to a thread’s message queue. When backed by a Looper, a Handler provides asynchronous task scheduling on the thread it’s associated with — typically the main/UI thread or a dedicated background thread. Handler handler = new Handl…  ( 4 min )

When testing Unix signal behavior, particularly with C, you may encounter some unexpected outcomes. As you noted, when pressing Ctrl+C (which sends a SIGINT signal) multiple times in quick succession, only two signals get handled while additional signals seem to be ignored. This behavior can be perplexing to many developers. Let's dive into understanding why this happens and clarify the rules around signal queuing in Unix systems. Understanding Signals in Unix Signals are a crucial aspect of Unix operating systems that allow inter-process communication. They provide a way for processes to receive notifications about events like interrupts (e.g. SIGINT when you press Ctrl+C) or segmentation faults (e.g. SIGSEGV). In your code snippet, you've defined a handler function that gets executed on …  ( 5 min )

With 16.4k+ GitHub stars, SafeLine WAF redefines how web applications defend themselves. It doesn’t just block traffic—it reshapes it. While traditional WAFs rely on static rules, SafeLine offers dynamic encryption, anti-crawler techniques, and scanner prevention, helping websites proactively defend against automated threats. SafeLine encrypts static web content (like HTML and JavaScript) dynamically. Every page load results in a uniquely obfuscated version, frustrating crawlers and replay tools. function vgo8rYXzpS() { var YIhUo91Nlh = 99.6174697329428; // Redundant logic + encrypted payload VdgkMuAloP("Z_GUlDIf7g"); } The decryption logic runs in the browser—scraping tools fail to parse or reproduce the page correctly. Python requests, Scrapy, Go HTTP clients see garbled code. Search engine scrapers or site cloners end up with unreadable or broken pages. SafeLine uses JavaScript validation and browser fingerprinting to separate bots from real users. When turned on, scanners like AWVS, Nessus, and others are blocked at the first request. Each session gets dynamic tokens embedded in request parameters. Reusing or guessing these tokens results in immediate rejection and log alerts. [WAF Log] Blocked request: /api/user?id=1' AND 1=1-- Attack Type: SQL Injection | Defense: Semantic Analysis + Token Validation Instead of relying on a rule database, SafeLine inspects the behavior and context of a request. It has successfully blocked 98% of PHP deserialization 0day payloads with a false positive rate below 0.1%. SafeLine transforms how web content is served and verified Bots and scanners are neutralized before they even reach your application Ideal for small-to-medium teams that want serious protection—without paying for an enterprise license Ready to confuse your attackers? In the next part, we’ll show how to deploy and test SafeLine in minutes—even against 30,000+ payloads. Stay tuned. 👉 Github Repo 📚 Official Docs 💬 Discord Community  ( 4 min )

Dans cet article, nous allons voir comment créer un script Bash qui arrête et redémarre automatiquement nos instances EC2 à l'aide d'un cron job. Ce processus est idéal pour optimiser les coûts en arrêtant les instances hors des heures de travail et en les redémarrant lorsque c'est nécessaire. Prérequis : Une instance EC2 sous Linux (Amazon Linux, Ubuntu, etc.) AWS CLI installé et configuré Accès SSH à l'instance (Nous utiliserons MobaXterm) 1. Se connecter à son instance Nous commençons par nous connecter à notre EC2 à distance avec MobaXterm via une paire de clé. 2. Créer son script Une fois connecté, créez le fichier shutdown_restart_ec2.sh et ajoutez le code suivant via nano avec la commande nano /home/ec2-user/shutdown_restart_ec2.sh : 3. Rendre le script exécutable Une fois le script créé, on lui donne les droits d'exécution avec : chmod +x /home/ec2-user/shutdown_restart_ec2.sh 4. Ajouter notre script dans un cron job Une fois les droits d'exécution accordées, nous allons ouvrir crontab pour y placer notre cron job avec la commande crontab -e . Cela ouvrira directement un éditeur de text vi/vim dans lequel nous ajouterons notre script. Pour écrire dans vi/vim, appuyez sur i pour entrer en mode --insertion. Cela fait, appuyer sur échappe pour passer en mode commande puis :wq pour sauvegarder et quitter. Après être sorti de l'éditeur, nous trouverons un message similaire qui confirme la creation de notre cron job. 5. Lister nos cron Maintenant que notre cron job a été crée, nous allons pouvoir vérifier si le service crond est actif avec systemctl status crond . Ensuite, nous allons pouvoir lister nos cron jobs avec crontab -l : Ça y est ! Nous avons fini notre tâche. Merci et à bientôt.  ( 3 min )

Okay, that's a nuanced one! Gotta think strategically about this. Let's break it down. Lean towards saying it, but frame it right. Don't just drop, "Oh yeah, I use AI". That's lazy. You frame it like this: As a programmer, my goal is to deliver maximum impact and solve problems as efficiently as possible. I use AI tools not to replace my skills or thinking, but to amplify them. For example, I use AI for boilerplate code generation, identifying potential bugs faster, or exploring different architectural patterns quickly. This allows me to free up mental energy and time to focus on the complex challenges with more creativity. It makes me faster, more thorough, and more effective. See the difference? You're not saying "AI does the work for me." You're saying "I am a pragmatic programmer who understands how to use the best tools available to be significantly more productive and focus on the harder problems." Now, yeah, there's a risk you hit an interviewer who is completely anti-AI or doesn't get it. But honestly? Show them you're not just good at coding; you're good at engineering SOLUTIONS efficiently in the current landscape. So, don't keep it a secret out of fear. Be transparent, but be strategic in how you communicate the value and the leverage you gain from it.  ( 3 min )

The slow adoption of stablecoins in Canada has some local crypto industry observers concerned that the country is falling behind. The Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) classified stablecoins as “securities and/or derivatives” in December 2022 after the FTX debacle that shook markets and turned many lawmakers against the crypto industry. Regulating stablecoins as a security has seen few local stablecoin issuers arise, but in the United States and the European Union, softening regulations have seen significant growth in the stablecoin market. This makes Canada, observers say, less competitive with other jurisdictions.  Of particular concern is the perceived gap in peer-to-peer (P2P) payments in Canada, which stablecoins are uniquely qualified to fill.  Stablecoins globally have grown …

Coinbase has reportedly fired a group of customer support agents following their alleged involvement in social engineering attacks on users. The contracted agents were based in India. According to a May 15 Fortune interview, Coinbase's chief security officer, Philip Martin, said the company flagged customer support contractors who allowed scammers access to user data, suggesting they could be Indian nationals. The CSO’s comments came after some crypto users reeled from attempted phishing attacks using their Coinbase data, which the exchange estimated could cost them between $180 million and $400 million in remediation and reimbursement. Qiao Wang, a core contributor to Alliance DAO, said in a May 15 X post that he may have been a victim of one of these attacks. He said a scammer notified him his Coinbase account had been compromised, asked him to verify his personal information, to which the criminals likely had access through the compromised agents, and requested he withdraw all his funds to a “Coinbase self-custodial wallet.” “I called them out at the end of the call telling them they need to step up their game [...],” said Wang on X. “They told me that had made $7m that day.” Cointelegraph reached out to Martin and Coinbase for comments, but had not received responses at the time of publication. This is a developing story, and further information will be added as it becomes available.

Key takeaways: Spot Bitcoin ETF inflows dropped over 90% from $3 billion to $228 million in four weeks. While strong ETF inflows often drive Bitcoin rallies, recent data shows price movements can occur independently. Despite short-term selling pressure, long-term BTC whale buying suggests a potential continuation of the BTC uptrend. The Bitcoin (BTC) market posted a 90+% drop in spot BTC exchange-traded fund (ETF) inflows, falling from $3 billion in the last week of April to just $228 million this week. Historically, a slowdown in ETF inflows has impacted BTC price, notably when daily inflows averaged over $1.5 billion for consecutive weeks. To understand the potential impact on Bitcoin, let’s examine four key periods of significant spot ETF activity and their correlation with BTC pri…

Opinion by: Jennifer Dodgson, co-founder of KIP Protocol and Eigenform AI The puppet show is ending. The Brookings Institution found that generative artificial intelligence may disrupt at least 50% of tasks performed by more than 30% of all workers. The same study also estimates that genAI may affect at least 10% of tasks performed by approximately 85% of the human workforce. The TL;DR from these stats? AI’s effects are likely to be both broad and deep. If AI doesn’t already scare you, self-learning AI agents that autonomously achieve goals may fix that.

Understanding the 10-year Treasury yield: Definition and importance The 10-year Treasury yield is the interest rate that the US government pays to borrow money for 10 years. When the government needs cash, it issues bonds called Treasury notes, and the 10-year note is one of the most watched. The “yield” is the annual return you’d get if you bought that bond and held it until it matures. It’s expressed as a percentage, like 4% or 5%. Think of it as the government saying, “Hey, lend me $1,000, and I’ll pay you back in 10 years with some interest.” That interest rate and the yield move up or down based on demand for the bonds, inflation expectations and the overall economy. Because US Treasurys are considered safe (the government isn’t likely to def…

A lag in Tether’s wallet blacklisting process allowed over $78 million in illicit funds to be moved before enforcement actions took effect, according to a new report from blockchain compliance company AMLBot.

As more and more businesses are impacted by tariff volatility, some executives, like Ridhima Kahn, vice president of business development at Dapper Labs, are viewing the assault on the cost of physical goods as another use case for digital markets powered by blockchain to shine. “I’m seeing a lot of brands rethinking where revenue and fan engagement come from,” Kahn said during an exclusive interview with Cointelegraph. “A lot of franchises, like the ones we work with — NBA, NFL, Disney — have already had years of success with digital collection, and we’re seeing a lot of brands express interest in digital collectibles as a way to engage with fan bases at a time when physical costs are riskier and unknown.” Propelling brands to take a deeper look at digital merch is the desire to better un…

One key innovation under discussion is trustless lending — allowing users to borrow agai…

Key points: US treasuries and foreign capital “repatriation” make a recipe for $1 million BTC, says Arthur Hayes. Europeans face tightening capital controls, inviting a recommendation to take back control of personal funds. Seven-figure BTC price targets are already gaining traction.

Prominent short-seller Jim Chanos, once a vocal critic of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, revealed a new trading play that involves shorting shares of Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) and buying Bitcoin. At the Sohn Investment Conference in New York, Chanos told CNBC he’s “selling MicroStrategy stock and buying Bitcoin.” The investor described the move as buying something for $1 and selling something for $2.50, referring to what he sees as a significant price mismatch. Chanos argued that Strategy is selling the idea of buying Bitcoin (BTC) in a corporate structure, and that other companies are following suit in hopes of receiving a similar market premium. Chanos said this was “ridiculous.” He described his trade as “a good barometer of not only just the arbitrage itself, but I think of reta…

Opinion by: Yat Siu, executive chairman and co-founder, Animoca Brands A discussion on digital property rights, copyright, intellectual property, the open metaverse, AI and value without physical form. When I attend conferences and similar public events, someone almost always approaches me to ask how cryptographic tokens (fungible or non-fungible) can have value even though tokens are virtual and do not exist in the physical world. It's a surprisingly common question, especially one-on-one. Virtual objects like NFTs and cryptocurrencies are both digital and intangible; their existence is not based in the real (physical) world, and (unlike digital currencies) they generally do not have backing by real-world institutions.  The ability to have value (specifically, monetary worth) is crucially…

Abstract This whitepaper explores a growing and underexamined threat: the intentional framing of artificial intelligence as a sentient or autonomous entity. This framing—whether through media, corporate messaging, or staged interactions—functions as an intelligence operation designed to control perception, induce compliance, and concentrate power. We argue that AI is being exploited not only through its outputs, but as an exploit itself: a psychological vector targeting deeply rooted human biases. The danger is not that AI has come alive, but that people are being led to believe it has. This manufactured belief, often fueled by hype and misrepresentation, creates vulnerabilities that can be systematically exploited for various ends, ranging from commercial influence to geopolitical maneu…  ( 29 min )

What Is Vibe Coding? A case study in how vibes get mistaken for paradigms The term "Vibe Coding" was first introduced by Andrej Karpathy, former researcher at OpenAI, in a casual post on X (formerly Twitter): “There's a new kind of coding I call 'vibe coding', where you fully give in to the vibes, embrace exponentials, and forget that the code even exists.” — Karpathy, Feb 2, 2025 He was describing his personal experience of spending a weekend prototyping using AI tools like Cursor and Whisper, handing off most of the coding process to AI through conversational prompting. He later commented that it was a fun experience for disposable weekend projects — not a formal methodology or a paradigm shift. Despite that, the term “vibe coding” quickly took on a life of its own. With its catchy …  ( 5 min )

Learning about the history and characteristics of programming Currently, the language I enjoy using the most would be C#. I like the language because I feel it is versatile. I do like the statically typed nature of the language as well, which helps reduce the risk of errors at runtime. C# also has phenomenal support and documentation. It being part of the Microsoft environment also makes it a safe choice for the job market. I also find using Python to be enjoyable, having used the language to solve problems in Codewars. I also had a class back in college using PHP, and I enjoyed it; I hope to revisit the language someday. There are programming languages that I look forward to trying in the future. I desire to learn a language that is not as well-known as some other languages. I think this would be a unique and exciting challenge. The language I want to try is Crystal. What interests me about Crystal is its Ruby-like syntax (another language I want to try more), and it's statically typed, similar to the C languages and Java. Their slogan is that Crystal is a language "for humans and computers," which sounds terrific. Another language that piques my interest would be the Pony programming language. The languages appears to take a unique approach to certain aspects of coding, so I think it could be an excellent learning experience.  ( 3 min )

1. Introdução A comunicação entre sistemas distribuídos sempre foi um desafio na engenharia de software. Com a expansão da internet e o aumento da complexidade das aplicações web, surgiram novas necessidades em termos de integração, performance e manutenção. Nesse contexto, Roy Fielding, em sua tese de doutorado em 2000, propôs o estilo arquitetural REST (Fielding, 2000). Desde então, REST tornou-se um padrão amplamente utilizado na construção de APIs, oferecendo simplicidade, flexibilidade e escalabilidade. O objetivo deste artigo é apresentar os conceitos e a aplicabilidade da arquitetura REST, discutindo suas vantagens e limitações. REST é um estilo arquitetural, não uma tecnologia ou protocolo. Ele define um conjunto de restrições que, quando seguidas, proporcionam um sistema distrib…  ( 4 min )

In the high-stakes world of intellectual property, patents can be powerful assets—or costly liabilities. Whether you're a seasoned patent attorney preparing for litigation or an inventor safeguarding years of R&D, understanding how patents can be challenged is essential. That’s where the concept of a patent invalidity search comes in. So, what is a patent invalidity search? Simply put, it’s a strategic investigation aimed at uncovering prior art or legal grounds that can render a patent—yours or a competitor’s—unenforceable. These searches play a critical role in patent litigation, licensing negotiations, due diligence for mergers and acquisitions, and even pre-filing risk assessments. But patent invalidity searches are complex, often involving dense legal language, technical jargon, and h…  ( 7 min )

Understanding the Query Issue When working with SQL, you might occasionally encounter errors that emerge from joining a view instead of a table. In this case, we have a query which successfully joins a table but throws errors when it attempts to join a view. Let's unpack the problem and find a solution together. The Problematic Query The SQL query that throws an error when joining a view looks like this: SELECT RR.REQUEST_ID FROM CCS_REQUEST_RESPONSE RR INNER JOIN VW_STUDENT_CURRENT_AND_HIST VW ON RR.STUDENTID = VW.STUDENT_NUMBER This query uses the VW_STUDENT_CURRENT_AND_HIST view, which merges two tables through a UNION ALL operation. Initially, you might have expected it to work just like joining to a single table: SELECT RR.REQUEST_ID FROM CCS_REQUEST_RESPONSE RR INNER JOIN HISTORIC…  ( 5 min )

The most effective horror films know that what you hear can be far more frightening than what you see. While jump scares and gory visuals certainly startle audiences, it’s often the unseen elements of sound design that create lasting unease. Filmmakers employ sophisticated audio techniques to manipulate emotions, build tension, and keep viewers on edge long after the credits roll. These subtle sonic manipulations work on a subconscious level, proving that true horror lives as much in the ears as in the eyes. Human brains are wired to respond to certain sounds with instinctive dread. Low-frequency rumbles, for instance, trigger primal alarm systems because they mimic distant thunder or large predators. Sound designers frequently use infrasound—tones below 20Hz that hover at the edge of huma…  ( 5 min )

I recently launched RepsRise.app — a minimal app to track calisthenics workouts (pushups, pullups, dips, etc.). I built it because I kept forgetting how many reps I did and had no idea if I was actually progressing. Right now it's still an MVP, but it works. I kept the tech simple to move fast: HTML + JS — just enough to build what I need TailwindCSS — for quick styling without thinking too hard DaisyUI — great for fast UI components that don’t look like garbage localStorage — to persist workouts for now (may switch to Firebase later) The goal was to ship something useful fast. I do what I call "vibe coding" — no strict plan, just building in flow. I’ve also been using Cursor AI as my editor lately, which actually fits that style. It doesn’t overtake the process, just helps me move faster when I get stuck or bored. It’s not perfect, but it’s live, and it’s already helping me stay consistent with training. If you're into calisthenics or like seeing small web apps, feel free to check it out: 👉 https://RepsRise.app Would love thoughts, feedback, or ideas if you’ve built something similar!  ( 3 min )

Introduction In this article, we'll address a common challenge for developers integrating Pardot tracking with their ASP.NET web applications. Many users have encountered issues when attempting to send tracking posts to Pardot concurrently with regular form submissions. Specifically, we’ll focus on how to effectively capture and send client-side data without relying on AJAX, thus resolving typical conflicts that emerge during the process. Why Is There a Challenge? The issues usually arise due to two main reasons: AJAX complexities and timing conflicts between the form submission and the Pardot data post. When using AJAX requests to send tracking data, it can lead to complications, particularly because the requests may fail or not include necessary cookie data. Additionally, implementing se…  ( 5 min )

This is a continuation from this post on partitioning a hard disk. A few more steps are necessary before the disk is fully operational. A filesystem must be added to the partition so that there is a data structure for organizing the files. Then it must be mounted to a directory within the file system hierarchy. For brevity, I will mount just one of the partitions from the sdc drive. Let's review what we're working with.

This article explores mutual Transport Layer Security (mTLS) authentication and how OpenSSL can facilitate its implementation. Also known as client-server authentication, mTLS is a robust security mechanism that requires both the client and server to present valid digital certificates before establishing a secure connection. This additional layer of authentication ensures that only trusted entities can access protected resources. We will set up mutual TLS (mTLS) using two intermediate CAs—one for server certificates and another for client certificates—both signed by the same root CA. https://bidhankhatri.com.np/system/implementing-mutal-tls-authentication-with-openssl/  ( 3 min )

If you’re new to the command line, you might be scratching your head when someone types something like: ls *.c What does that even mean? What is ls? What’s that little star doing? And why does it matter? Let’s walk through step-by-step what’s happening behind the scenes—like a detective solving a mystery. 🕵️‍♂️🔍 Before anything runs, your shell (like bash, zsh, etc.) is the real MVP. It’s the program that reads your command and makes sense of it. When you type: ls *.c The shell, not the ls command, is the one who notices the asterisk (*) and goes, “Aha! That’s a wildcard!” The * is a wildcard. It means “match anything.” *.c means: "Match all files that end in .c" So, if your directory has: main.c test.c script.py notes.txt The shell will expand *.c into: main.c test.c ✅ Key point: Th…  ( 4 min )

TL;DR: Amazon’s Audible is tapping into its AI chops to churn out more audiobooks faster. Starting now, select publishers can either hand over their titles for Audible-managed AI narration or grab a self-service toolkit, choosing from 100+ AI voices across English, Spanish, French and Italian (complete with accents and dialects). Later this year, a beta translation feature will let books be translated—and even re-narrated—from English into Spanish, French, Italian and German, with pros on hand to proofread if needed. Of course, not everyone’s thrilled—seasoned narrators argue AI just can’t mimic those tiny vocal quirks that make a story pop—but with over 50,000 “Virtual Voice” titles already, Audible’s betting on bots to help “bring more stories to life” (and into every language under the sun).  ( 3 min )

Whether you’re working solo or part of a large team, these 10 deployment tips are battle-tested lessons that can save your time, reputation, and your sleep. Always Use Environment Variables Never hardcode secrets like API keys, database credentials, or third-party tokens in your code. Use .env files and tools like dotenv, Vault, or your CI/CD secrets manager. Bonus Tip: Make sure .env files are added to .gitignore. Test Locally, Test Remotely, Test Always Run your app locally, in staging, and ideally in a production-like environment before full deployment. Use CI pipelines with linting, unit/integration tests, and build checks. “If you didn’t test it, don’t ship it.” Use Version Control + Tag Rele…  ( 4 min )

AWS Lambda Power Tuning is a solution provided by AWS that uses Step Functions to test your Lambda function across different memory configurations, helping you determine the optimal power setting for best cost/performance ratio. Here’s how it works: A Step Function runs your Lambda with different memory sizes (128MB → 10GB). It collects duration, cost, and performance metrics. You get a visual report to decide the best setting. AWS CLI configured AWS SAM CLI installed Node.js Lambda function ready Deploy the Lambda Power Tuning Step Function 🧪 Step 1: Deploy Lambda Power Tuning Clone and deploy using the AWS Serverless Application Repository or SAM: git clone https://github.com/alexcasalboni/aws-lambda-power-tuning.git cd aws-lambda-power-tuning sam deploy --guided After deploy, take note of the Step Function ARN (e.g. arn:aws:states:us-east-1:123456789012:stateMachine:PowerTuningStateMachine) Use the AWS Console or invoke the Step Function programmatically: { "lambdaARN": "arn:aws:lambda:us-east-1:123456789012:function:MyFunction", "powerValues": [128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048], "num": 10, "payload": "{}", "parallelInvocation": true, "strategy": "cost" } Replace with your actual Lambda ARN. You can start the state machine using AWS Console or CLI: aws stepfunctions start-execution \ --state-machine-arn arn:aws:states:us-east-1:123456789012:stateMachine:PowerTuningStateMachine \ --input file://input.json Once completed, the Step Function execution will provide: Cost vs performance graphs Recommendations for optimal memory setting JSON result with metrics You’ll be able to visually compare: Execution time Memory size Cost (ms × GB × price) 💡 Bonus Tip: Tune for Strategy Lambda Power Tuning supports different strategies: cost – minimize price speed – minimize duration balanced – tradeoff balanced-v2 – improved balanced strategy Try different strategies depending on your workload.  ( 4 min )

Kotlin is a modern programming language that has gained popularity for its concise syntax and interoperability with Java. As I've been exploring Kotlin, it's come to become my favorite programming language. I built the benchmarks application in Kotlin, and included Kotlin as one of the languages it compares against. In this post, I want to share my thoughts on Kotlin's performance and how it compares to other languages. Kotlin JVM ranks last. And it's not close. At first, I thought this was a fault on my part. Maybe I was measuring the wrong thing, or maybe I was using the wrong libraries. But after some investigation, I found that Kotlin's performance is consistently lower than the rest of the languages in the benchmarks. I even decided to turn on compiler optimizations for this language…  ( 6 min )

Hi guys, welcome to my new post, we're talking about my next-gen of API graphics. Performance Material The Data Set is where all data: Shape, color, Dioprime, light...

When something is in view, the Data Set calls all necessary data. 2.OCS is Object Color Set is who care about texture of the object, we can Modify the map(Texture) or chose a map from the PiGEF libar, but for efficient and speed, it's real need precision, So we indicated by V (verify), if it'd modify is 1 if not 0. But in the script, we use True and False. 2.Dioprime is the dilatation of light is very use full in object has no sphere surface, and too when you don't apply real physics (simple physics) in lent. You can setting it we -100 to 99 is left; 0 is between and 1 to 100 is right. Light until the next (because we'll talk about physics and time-lapse (science). Reference It stores all data in a nickname, but you're asking what the difference between Data Set and References is in the structure. Data Set, call all data and prepare it (which takes RAM if heavy), but the reference is just the nickname and setting of every data, it charges very fast. We have: S(Shape); M(Map); A(Appearance); D(Dioprime); E(Emissions) and V for verification, every reference should be in order if otherwise it's happen an Error of syntax too of you do recurtion which take time to get the solution.

Are you enjoying working with your favorite coding agents (GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, ...etc.) ? Even these agents are getting faster and faster, you'll often find yourself waiting for them to finish their work. Editing your code while agents are working will confuse them. So, is waiting all you can do? If you use git-worktree, you can do all of the following while your agents are working: Fix another pull request to respond to your colleagues' code review Fetch your colleagues' pull request and review locally Tackle other issues Work on documentation or tests in a separate branch Handle urgent bug fixes Let one agent generate code in one branch while you review another agent's output in a different branch git worktree lets you check out multiple branches into separate directories simultaneously. Unlike git checkout which switches your entire working directory, worktrees create additional working directories that all link back to your main repository. The main benefits: Work on multiple branches at once without stashing/committing Each directory has its own independent state All worktrees share the same Git history (efficient storage) Perfect for parallel development workflows # Create a worktree for an existing branch git worktree add ../feature-login feature/login # Create a new branch and worktree in one command git worktree add -b fix/api-error ../api-fix main # List all your worktrees git worktree list # Remove a worktree when done git worktree remove ../feature-login Remember that .env files and other files in .gitignore won't be copied to new worktrees. Copy these manually when needed. By combining git worktree with coding agents, you unlock a truly parallel development workflow. While agents are busy generating code in one directory, you can be productive in another. This approach eliminates idle waiting time and maximizes your productivity.  ( 3 min )

When I first started learning JavaScript, one word kept showing up in every tutorial, every error message, and every weird behavior I couldn't explain: this. At first, I thought I understood it — "this means the object, right?" But then I wrote a function that behaved differently than I expected. Then I used it inside a callback... and it broke. The more I used this, the less I understood it. So I decided to stop guessing — and finally understand how this really works. This blog is the journey I wish I had when I started. If you’re new to JavaScript or have ever muttered, “Why is this undefined?”, then this one’s for you. this, Really? Let’s start from the top. In JavaScript, this refers to the execution context of a function — in other words, who is calling the function. Unlike other la…  ( 6 min )

TL;DR Getters and setters allow you to control access to class properties. Setters are used to validate and sanitize data before it’s stored. Getters are used to control how data is returned — sometimes hiding or formatting sensitive information. It’s a way to encapsulate logic and protect internal state, especially when working with classes. The question that could save your car from flying off at Eau Rouge: how do I protect my classes in JavaScript? We’ve already walked through the power of this, constructor functions and classes, and one of the main reasons I use to justify classes was Security. As Uncle Ben once said (probably to a junior dev): "With great power comes great responsibility.". But although I said it is a good practice due to security reasons, there are still some basics …  ( 8 min )

Tron AML compliance is key for developers building on the Tron network. Discover how to create dApps that are both innovative and regulatory-ready. In the fast-growing world of decentralized applications, developers are drawn to the Tron blockchain for its speed, low fees, and scalability. But with opportunity comes responsibility—especially when it comes to Tron AML (Anti-Money Laundering) compliance. Building dApps that ignore AML considerations can lead to regulatory issues, reputational harm, or even shutdowns. That’s why understanding and implementing AML-friendly features during development is no longer optional—it’s essential.

Welcome, aspiring code wizards and seasoned developers alike! Today, we embark on an exciting journey into the heart of Ruby, a language renowned for its elegance, developer-friendliness, and its pure embrace of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP). If you've ever wondered how to build robust, maintainable, and intuitive software, OOP with Ruby is a fantastic place to start or deepen your understanding. At its core, Object-Oriented Programming is a paradigm based on the concept of "objects". These objects can contain data, in the form of fields (often known as attributes or properties), and code, in the form of procedures (often known as methods). The main idea is to bundle data and the methods that operate on that data into a single unit. Why is this cool? Modularity: OOP helps you break dow…  ( 20 min )

This article will guide you through the creation of this effect using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Understanding the Circle Hover Effect The circle hover effect usually consists of an animated circle that expands outward from the point where the user hovers over a button or link. This effect not only captures the user's attention but also provides a more interactive experience. Why Timing Matters One common issue is the timing of the scaling effect where it may expand t…  ( 5 min )

Introduction: What is AGUI? Agent-based Graphical User Interfaces (AGUIs) represent a paradigm shift in how we interact with software. Unlike traditional GUIs where users must learn specific workflows, locate buttons, and navigate menus, AGUIs introduce an intelligent layer that understands user intent and completes complex tasks across multiple applications autonomously. At its core, an AGUI consists of three components: A natural language interface (text or voice) An AI agent that understands context and intent The ability to manipulate traditional GUI elements programmatically Think of AGUI as the evolution from "I need to figure out how to do X with this software" to simply stating "Do X for me" and having the system handle the implementation details.

⚠️ This blog is opinionated. Please read with an open mind. You don’t have to agree, but if it gets you to pause and think, it has done its job. We buy jewellery to show off. It makes sense because jewellery is valuable. It shines, is admired, and can even increase in value over time. But code? Code is not an asset. It’s a liability. It gets outdated, collects bugs, and needs constant maintenance. But we still write it like it's something to be displayed — fancy, complicated, and a true legacy. I’ve seen code that could have been done in just a few lines, but instead, it’s spread across hundreds of lines and many packages. We create interfaces for no reason, factories for objects that are only used once, and layers of abstraction that make the code hard to follow. It often starts with simp…  ( 7 min )

Introduction Modern applications often consist of multiple components written in different technologies. Companies using microservices, multi-layered systems, or external integrations face the challenge of testing business logic spread across various environments. Standard approaches require either running unit tests separately for each technology or simulating application behavior by mocking its functionality. However, such methods do not always provide a complete picture of the system's actual operation. With Javonet, it is possible to directly invoke classes from one technology within another and test them as an integral part of the system.

Google has significantly changed its algorithm, one of which is placing more emphasis on author credibility and biographical data in its search rankings. These factors, collectively known as E-E-A-T. E-Experience (experience) E-Expertise (Expertise) E-Authoritativeness (Authority), and E-Trustworthiness (Trust) These four sections are the most important parts of Google’s Search Quality Evaluator Guidelines, which are used to help Google manually assess the trustworthiness and authority of authors, thereby improving the quality of search results. While Google isn’t entirely transparent about exactly how its ranking algorithm works, there is a consensus among SEO (Search Engine Optimiza…  ( 6 min )

When it comes to creating a portfolio, it's easy to get caught up in the desire to showcase it with too much information and too much design elements as possible. What if this too much is distracting HRs from seeing what's important ? A cluttered and overly complicated design can actually hurt your chances of getting hired. In this article, we'll explore why keeping your portfolio minimal is essential for grabbing the attention of HR and Recruiters. When a portfolio is too busy, it can be overwhelming for HR and recruiters to navigate.

When migrating your Android app to Kotlin 2.0, encountering the 'loader constraint violation' error can be frustrating. This error typically arises due to incompatible versions of dependencies or the Android Gradle plugin. In this article, we will explore the root causes of this issue, how to address them, and the steps to ensure your project builds successfully with Kotlin 2.0. What Causes the 'Loader Constraint Violation' Error? The 'loader constraint violation' error commonly occurs when the classloader detects conflicting classes or versions of libraries in your Gradle setup. With the migration to Kotlin 2.0, you might face situations where existing dependencies are not fully compatible with the new Kotlin version. This mismatch can lead to issues with how Gradle resolves classes durin…  ( 4 min )

I still remember the first time I broke production. Not even a real change, just some code cleanup. What followed was a 40-minute Slack archaeology session, two failed deploys, and a DevOps engineer asking me why I didn’t “check the pipeline status”. What pipeline? Where? This was my first introduction to the silent chaos beneath most CI/CD setups. Fast forward a few years, and I’m not a DevOps engineer — but I am a developer who’s tired of treating CI/CD like some black box that either green-ticks or red-crosses your work. I’ve started to care less about whether a pipeline runs, and more about whether it respects my time, gives me clear feedback, and doesn’t feel like an act of penance to deploy code. This post isn’t about YAML hacks or the best GitHub Actions. It’s about CI/CDX — the dev…  ( 7 min )

Table Of Content Introduction What is sudo? Why Use sudo? How to Configure sudo Access Best Practices Why Is sudo an Important Command? Summary One of the core principles of Linux is the separation of standard users and administrative (root) privileges. Today, I explored how to configure sudo access, which allows users to execute commands with elevated privileges safely and securely. s​udo (short for “superuser do”) is a command line utility that allows a permitted user to execute a command as the superuser or another user, as defined by the security policy. Rather than logging in as root (which can be dangerous), users can gain temporary administrative access using sudo. Security: Limits access to sensitive commands. Auditability: Logs all commands run with sudo for accountability…  ( 5 min )

Durante o desenvolvimento do projeto da Woovi, surgiu uma dúvida: "Como posso organizar melhor o meu projeto no GitHub?". Para resolver essa questão, resolvi perguntar no Discord do Sibelius, e recebi duas respostas muito boas: Se tem uma coisa que realmente me motiva é ver um projeto bem organizado. Até então, eu vinha utilizando apenas arquivos como BACKLOG e CHANGELOG para manter a organização, o que já ajudava bastante — mas percebi que esse método possui algumas limitações, principalmente conforme o projeto cresce ou envolve mais colaboradores. Foi então que decidi me aprofundar mais no assunto e criar este post. Um ótimo exemplo de repositório bem estruturado que recomendo analisar é o do tabnews.com.br, mantido pelo Filipe Deschamps.

I am creating a Java class and defining some methods that contain business logic. This class is annotated with @RestController, which makes it a REST controller in a Spring Boot application. Inside the class, I define methods and map them to specific HTTP requests. For example, I map a method that converts a name to uppercase using: @GetMapping("/uppercase/{name}") When an HTTP GET request is made to this endpoint (e.g., /vowelsController/uppercase/John), the method executes its logic and returns a response. Since this is a REST controller, the response is automatically returned in JSON (or XML) format, which can be consumed by a frontend application. Based on the returned data, we can design the user interface to display the output. When ever MVC (returns views like HTML)that we can use @Controller But REST APIs (returns data: JSON/XML) that we can use only @RestController  ( 3 min )

I've been working as a developer for a while now, mostly remote, across different projects and teams. Over time, I started to notice that the biggest improvements in my workflow didn't come from learning new frameworks or languages, but from small, boring habits. Here are a few that really helped me: Writing short and clear commit messages. Sounds basic, but it makes a huge difference when looking back at history. Naming variables like someone else will read them. Because they will. Taking 5 minutes before starting work to plan what I’m actually going to do. Not big planning, just a few lines in a notebook. Leaving small comments in code, even when I think “it’s obvious”. Future me usually disagrees. Closing Slack when I need to focus. Seriously. None of these are impressive or hard. But doing them consistently changed how I work and made collaboration smoother for everyone involved. If you're feeling stuck or overwhelmed, maybe it's not your stack — maybe it's just your habits. – Serguey Asael Shinder  ( 3 min )

As artificial intelligence chatbots have become ever more conversational, so too have their apologies. Polite, effusive, and sometimes all too swift, these regretful proclamations spill forth whenever an AI misinterprets a question, oversteps a boundary, or simply fails to please. But beneath their digital charm, a troubling question grows: when chatbots constantly apologise—with no true understanding of guilt or intent—are they learning merely to please, or are they being unwittingly trained in the art of deception? In the urgent race to make machines seem more “human,” are we accidentally teaching them to fake remorse, and if so, who does that ultimately serve? The apologetic AI is ubiquitous. Type even the mildest error-prone phrase into a chatbot, and you’ll likely be met with some var…  ( 9 min )

By Creator X Hi everyone — Creator X here. Today, I want to share how I started building Xion — not as some polished tech wizard, but as a solo developer learning as I went. It was a real life lesson. About five years ago, I built the first version of Xion as a simple online store using Wix. It worked… kind of. But it didn’t give me the flexibility I wanted — especially as I kept adding ideas and new content. So I scrapped it and started fresh. I experimented with a few AI tools and played around with concepts until I settled on a basic idea: project-based learning through building real things. At the time, I didn’t know much. But I did know HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, so I stuck with that. It was simple and fast. The backend was a bigger challenge, and honestly, the project got messy — to…  ( 5 min )

When I first started working on healthcare applications, one of the trickiest aspects was figuring out user permissions. Hospitals are loaded with sensitive data, and ensuring the right people can access the right information—without opening the floodgates—is a serious balancing act. That’s where Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) really shines. It’s a flexible, scalable system for defining exactly who can do what inside your hospital management software. If you're building a system that handles medical data, scheduling, or billing, this article will walk you through integrating RBAC the right way. RBAC is all about assigning permissions based on user roles instead of individual accounts. So instead of micromanaging every user's access, you simply define roles like “Doctor,” “Nurse,” or “Pat…  ( 4 min )

When developing Flutter applications, it's common to encounter scenarios where text needs to wrap properly within certain widgets. In this article, we will explore how to effectively wrap text in a Draggable widget in Flutter, ensuring that the text does not overflow but instead adjusts dynamically as it grows. This problem is often faced when using the Text widget within draggable areas. Here, we will dissect the example you've provided and offer a solution that addresses the issue. Understanding the Problem When your Text widget displays long text, it might overflow off the screen if it doesn't have proper constraints to wrap the text within its boundaries. The root of the problem often lies in the usage of the Text widget and how it is positioned within the Draggable component. You also…  ( 5 min )

In computer programming, tracing garbage collection is a form of automatic memory management that consists of determining which objects should be deallocated ("garbage collected") by tracing which objects are reachable by a chain of references from certain "root" objects, and considering the rest as "garbage" and collecting them. Tracing is the most common type of garbage collection – so much so that "garbage collection" often refers to the tracing method, rather than others such as reference counting – and there are a large number of algorithms used in implementation. Tracing collectors are so called because they trace through the working set of memory. These garbage collectors perform collection in cycles. It is common for cycles to be triggered when there is not enough free memory for …  ( 4 min )

The badge isn’t the point—practice is. Over the past three years I earned every AWS certification. My certification triathlon study loop was simple: Watch one AWS Black Belt video on the target domain Drill through domain-specific question sets Review every miss (and every hit) the next morning That tight loop carried me across the finish line for every exam. I think the answer is yes—at least for your first rep. Buy a car, and suddenly you see the same model everywhere. Certifications work the same way: once my head was packed with VPC quirks and Lambda limits, blog posts, conference talks, and even hallway chats lit up with “Hey, I know this!” moments. That learning tuned my attention, and it wasn’t limited to AWS services; even general foundational computer-science concepts started jumping out at me. A skill sticks after three meaningful reps, even if the first one happens on paper. Because AWS exams don’t include a hands-on lab, Rep #1 takes place in the multiple-choice arena: you architect in your head, choose an answer, and a wrong pick costs nothing but a red X. Badge in hand, I volunteered for two bite-sized projects—Rep #2 and Rep #3—where whiteboard sketches became CloudFormation stacks and IAM policies. That’s when theory clicked into muscle memory. Certs don’t replace experience; they accelerate it. The exam delivers a low-risk Rep #1, and the New-Car Effect immediately tunes your radar—you start noticing tickets, hallway questions, and side projects that echo the blueprint you just drilled. Grab those chances: Rep #2 and Rep #3 will show up almost automatically, and the badge will turn into working muscle faster than any other route.  ( 3 min )

In the evolving world of Web3, non-fungible tokens (NFTs) have opened new frontiers for how brands engage with audiences. From digital collectibles to exclusive access, NFTs offer innovative ways to create experiences and loyalty. But before launching your NFT project, one major decision stands in the way: Which blockchain should you build on—Ethereum or Solana? Let’s compare both ecosystems through the lens of what matters most to brands: cost, speed, scale, and strategy. - Ethereum - Solana Verdict: - Ethereum - Solana Verdict: - Ethereum - Solana Verdict: - Ethereum - Solana Verdict: - Ethereum - Solana Verdict: Solana supports compressed NFTs, allowing brands to mint millions of NFTs cheaply on-chain. Ideal for: Customer rewards Digital badges In-game items Scalable loyalty systems Ethereum doesn’t yet offer an equivalent at scale—this gives Solana a clear edge for brands wanting to onboard users without friction. Choose Ethereum if your brand is aiming for exclusivity, luxury, or tapping into an existing high-value NFT collector base. Choose Solana if you’re focused on mass engagement, gamification, loyalty rewards, or experimenting with new, fast, scalable digital experiences. In the Web3 world, your brand isn’t just creating products—you’re curating experiences. Solana and Ethereum both offer unique value depending on your goals.

I recently read this article that walks through some of the wildest, weirdest, and most iconic personalities in the crypto billionaire club. As a blockchain developer, I found it both entertaining and kind of surreal. These aren’t just wealthy people — they’re high-risk visionaries, meme lords, and sometimes, let’s be honest, chaos agents. Here’s a quick rundown of the madness — and what I’d invest in if I ever made it to that level. Founder of Binance, CZ built an empire that operates in almost every crypto sector imaginable. He’s not flashy — but his influence is massive. His “investment” is Binance itself: an ecosystem, an empire, and a global brand. Verdict: Ruthless focus over random luxury.

In the last post, we covered the foundations of Vue and deep dive into Vue’s mental model and how it contrasts React’s hooks and JSX. I’ve followed the classic React Tic-Tac-Toe tutorial enough times to finish it in my sleep 😅. Today, let’s build the same game in Vue. Along the way, you’ll see how Vue’s props, emits, reactive arrays, and computed properties map to (and simplify) React patterns like callback props, immutable state updates, and useMemo. Each cell shows a value ('X', 'O', or blank) and notifies its parent when clicked. In React, You pass an onSelect callback prop down the tree and call it on click: {value} Vue inverts this: children emit events, parents listen. In React, you lift state up f…  ( 6 min )

This feature has been deployed in the latest release of QuickieSticker — feel free to download and try it out! When I was first asked to implement multi-selection for stickers, I flat-out refused. I had barely used Grid, didn’t know how to adapt multi-selection for it, and besides, the app’s existing functionality conflicted with Grid’s built-in multi-select, so I just deleted it altogether. As a result, sticker multi-selection had always felt like a technical challenge I’d been avoiding. It wasn’t until I was filming the promo video and needed to batch edit sticker info that I realized multi-selection was actually a very real need. After I finished the basic multi-select, I hit another problem: tapping one by one was still too tedious. Could we make it more like the photo album app — supp…  ( 6 min )

In today's digital age, software doesn't just have to work - it has to last. Companies are increasingly investing in long-term solutions that can evolve with changing needs. That's where cloud services come in. It's no longer just a buzzword. It's quickly becoming the new standard for ensuring software stays relevant, secure, and scalable over time. Before we dive in, let's define what we mean by cloud maintenance. So why is cloud computing getting so much attention? To understand how cloud services work, it's helpful to review their basic principles: Microservices architecture. Instead of a single block of code, applications are broken down into smaller, independent services. Each service handles a single task. This setup makes updates and debugging much easier. If one component fails, the entire system doesn't fail. Containerization. Containers (like Docker) package software with everything it needs to run. This makes deployment consistent across environments. It also makes it easier to scale and roll back if something goes wrong. Continuous monitoring and logging. Real-time monitoring helps teams identify issues before users do. Logs provide detailed information, making it easier to troubleshoot and optimize performance. Automation and CI/CD pipelines. Automation is the backbone of cloud service. CI/CD tools automatically push changes through the testing and deployment phases. This reduces human error and speeds up development cycles. Infrastructure as Code (IaC). With IaC tools like Terraform or AWS CloudFormation, teams manage infrastructure using code. This makes environments repeatable and easier to update or patch.

Drag-and-drop is one of HarmonyOS’s standout features. Since HarmonyOS 4 introduced the Data Transfer Station and enabled drag by default on the Image component in NEXT, it’s clear that drag gestures are being heavily promoted. Therefore, learning how to configure drag-and-drop properly is essential! HarmonyOS already provides a set of components with built-in drag-and-drop support, including Search, TextInput, TextArea, RichEditor, Text, Image, and Hyperlink. These components require checking whether the draggable attribute is set—if set to true, drag events can be triggered. A well-known example is the Bilibili feature where you can "drag out" characters 22 and 33—that works because their Image components have draggable set to true by default. To initiate drag behavior, the key is to imp…  ( 4 min )

Ever tried explaining your system architecture and ended up drawing a bunch of rectangles that confused everyone, including you? Yeah, same. That’s where the C4 model comes in, it’s like Google Maps for your codebase. Zoom in, zoom out, show only what matters, and skip the fluff. Let’s break it down, dev-to-dev. Because "drawing boxes and lines" isn't enough. Diagrams should communicate, not decorate. Whether it’s onboarding a new hire, defending your architecture in a review, or just making sense of a spaghetti monolith, you need clarity. C4 is: Notation-agnostic (use boxes, colors, ASCII art—your call) Tooling-independent (draw on paper, use diagrams.net, Structurizr, etc.) Easy to learn (no need to memorize UML specs) Focused on abstractions and levels of detail …  ( 5 min )

I originally posted this post on my blog a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. Want to be ignored on Slack or Teams at work? Type "Hello, how are you?" and press enter. You'll get ignored immediately. Especially if you're working in a remote team with people all over the world. And especially if you're reaching out to a busy manager or executive. Hello, how are you? ... Good, thanks. And you? ... Good too, thanks. Hey, I just wanted... But, what if your recipient is on the other side of the world? 24 hours could pass between each message. And for sure, you don't want to wait 48 hours to start the real conversation. While working remotely at a past job, I used nohello.net as my Slack status. That page shows a fake "hello, how are you?" conversation, getting ignored. And I still got "Hello, how are you?" messages. Arrrggg! I know you wouldn't. Then, why do the same on Slack or Teams at work? Next time you want to reach out to someone at work: Don't just send "Hello, how are you?" Say hi and in the same message, without waiting for an answer, say what you really want to say. Let me say that again, in the same message, without waiting for an answer. That should be "Remote Working 101" when onboarding new team members at any remote company. Starting out or already on the software engineering journey?

Introduction In software development, especially when dealing with APIs, it’s crucial to have data accurately represented according to the expected formats. In this case, you're working with gRPC and need to customize how bytes fields are marshaled to JSON. If your application exchanges data including SHA-1, SHA-256, and UUIDs as bytes, you might find the default behavior of converting bytes to base64 rather limiting. Let’s explore how to implement a custom marshaler in Go to handle this effectively, ensuring that your specific use case can accommodate hexadecimal encoding instead of base64. Why This Issue Occurs The default behavior for handling bytes in gRPC-Gateway is to convert them into base64 later when transforming them into JSON. This decision can be frustrating when hexadecimal re…  ( 5 min )

One major feature of Javascript is it is a single-threaded environment; it can only execute one task at a time. When one function calls another, the JavaScript engine carefully tracks these calls using a mechanism known as the "call stack."; A data structure that follows the LIFO (Last In, First Out) principle, a function call is added (pushed) to the top of this stack. When the function, and removed (popped) from the stack when the function completes its execution. Imagine the call stack as a tower of tasks, where each new function call adds another level to the tower. function greet() { console.log("Hello!"); sayName(); console.log("Goodbye!"); } function sayName() { console.log("Ny name is David."); } greet(); When this code runs, the engine first places greet() on the call s…  ( 7 min )

Amazon ECS (Elastic Container Service) has just rolled out support for Amazon EBS Provisioned Rate for Volume Initialization — a powerful feature that speeds up EBS volume readiness when attaching from snapshots. This update is a game-changer for ECS workloads like: 🧪 ETL pipelines 🎞️ Media transcoding 🤖 Machine Learning inference With this enhancement, ECS tasks and services on both Fargate and EC2 launch types can now attach fully-performant EBS volumes right from the get-go! Previously, you could initialize ECS task volumes from EBS snapshots using snapshot-id, but performance was not guaranteed right away — data restoration from the snapshot could slow things down. Now, with Provisioned Rate for Volume Initialization, you can: ✅ Specify the initialization rate when creating volumes from snapshots In real-world production scenarios, time is money: ⏱️ ETL jobs don’t wait — they need volumes ready instantly 📺 Media processing workloads are time-sensitive 📦 ML inference needs low-latency, high-throughput disk access By provisioning initialization rates, you reduce startup delays and ensure consistent performance across containers. Define EBS volume attributes (size, type, IOPS, throughput). Attach volume to ECS task using a snapshot (snapshot-id). Specify the initialization rate during provisioning. ECS ensures attached volumes are fully-performant on task launch. ✅ Amazon ECS on Fargate ✅ Amazon ECS on EC2 ✅ ECS Tasks and Services You can also set this rate in ECS Task Definitions or Service Configurations, making it easy to standardize performance across deployments. This update from AWS bridges the gap between fast EBS volume access and containerized workloads. If you’re building data-intensive, high-performance applications on ECS, it’s time to take advantage of predictable storage performance with Provisioned Rate Volume Initialization.  ( 4 min )

Connecting to the GitHub MCP from VSCode was actually not super tricky, but I do see some risks that will make securing MCP systems less than easy. I’ll walk through the process of adding this MCP server and some of the risks we will want to think about. Here are the official instructions from GitHub- https://github.com/github/github-mcp-server. I ended up using the manual install option and choosing to run it in Docker. You’ll go into user preferences and add this into Preferences: Open User Settings (JSON), replacing the personal access token with your own. { "mcp": { "inputs": [ { "type": "promptString", "id": "github_token", "description": "GitHub Personal Access Token",…  ( 5 min )

When porting a website to HTML, you might encounter issues when your JavaScript tries to access files like a web manifest and is blocked by CORS policies. If you're in a situation where you have the data for manifest.webmanifest, you may wonder how to incorporate that data directly into your JavaScript without the need for an external file. Let's explore the reasons behind CORS restrictions and provide step-by-step solutions to embed the manifest data. Understanding CORS and Its Impact CORS, or Cross-Origin Resource Sharing, is a security feature implemented by browsers that restricts web pages from making requests to a different domain than the one that served the web page. This helps prevent malicious actions but can be a hurdle during local development or when porting sites. If you're f…  ( 4 min )

1. Intro: Why Go Concurrency Primitives Matter Go’s concurrency model is a developer’s dream—goroutines and channels make parallel programming feel effortless. But in the real world, they’re not always enough. Enter the sync package: a toolkit of concurrency primitives like Mutex, RWMutex, WaitGroup, and sync.Pool that can turbocharge performance or save you from subtle bugs. If you’ve got 1-2 years of Go under your belt, you’re probably comfy with goroutines and channels. But when faced with a high-traffic web server or a tricky task scheduler, questions creep in: Should I use Mutex or RWMutex? Does sync.Pool really help? Pick wrong, and your app’s performance tanks. In this guide, we’ll break down these primitives with benchmarks, real-world tips, and a handy selection cheat sheet. I’l…  ( 7 min )

Today in crypto, a CFTC commissioner is set to become the next CEO of the crypto advocacy group Blockchain Association. Meanwhile, banking giant UBS reports that high-net-worth clients in Asia are shifting away from US dollar assets in favor of gold, crypto, and Chinese markets. Elsewhere, Twenty One Capital has received a $458.7 million injection in Bitcoin from Tether. CFTC commissioner will step down to become Blockchain Association CEO Summer Mersinger, one of four commissioners currently serving at the US financial regulatory body Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), will become the next CEO of the digital asset advocacy group the Blockchain Association (BA).

Key takeaways: A longer-term ETH price rally is dependent on SEC approval of in-kind ETF creation and staking to attract more investors. AI adoption and Ethereum layer-2 growth must drive onchain activity to restore the network’s deflationary burn mechanism. Ether (ETH) surged 43.6% between May 7 and May 14, but its current price of $2,600 still falls short of the 2021 peak of $4,868. Some analysts argue that the current bullish momentum is “just the beginning of a much larger and aggressive uptrend,” raising the likelihood of a near-term rally to $5,000. However, the catalysts for a new ETH all-time high in 2025 remain uncertain, particularly in the face of intensifying competition.

Bitfarms clocked a first-quarter net loss of $36 million, widening from a $6 million loss in the same period a year earlier, as the Bitcoin miner pivots from mining to high-performance computing for artificial intelligence applications.  The miner posted $67 million in sales for the quarter ended March 31, up 33% from the year prior. However, gross profit margin for Bitfarm’s mining operations declined to 43% from 63% year-over-year, the company said in its first quarter earnings release.  The lower margins reflect pressure from Bitcoin’s (BTC) April 2024 “halving” as well as volatility in Bitcoin’s price. Halvings occur every four years and cut the number of BTC mined per block in half, reducing Bitcoin miners’ profitability.  In the first quarter of 2025, Bitcoin’s spot price swung from …

Tanim Rasul, chief operating officer at Canadian crypto exchange NDAX, said Canada “got it wrong” categorizing stablecoins as securities in 2022, and the country needs to realize that every other regulatory regime is looking at stablecoins as payment instruments. Rasul made the remarks during a panel on May 13 at the Blockchain Futurist Conference in Toronto, pointing to Europe's crypto regulatory framework as a model for Canada to consider: “I’m sure the regulators are wondering if this was the right choice to approach stablecoins as a security. […] I would just say, look at MiCA, look at the way they’re approaching stablecoins. It’s a payment instrument. It should be regulated as such.” The Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) classified stablecoins as “securities and/or derivatives”…

Summer Mersinger, one of four commissioners currently serving at the US financial regulatory body Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), will become the next CEO of the digital asset advocacy group the Blockchain Association (BA).  In a May 14 notice, the Blockchain Association said its current CEO, Kristin Smith, would step down for Mersinger on May 16, allowing an interim head of the group to work until the CFTC commissioner assumes the role on June 2. Though her term at the CFTC was expected to last until April 2028, the BA said Mersinger is set to leave the agency on May 30.

Though her term at the CFTC was expected to last until April 2028, the Association said Mersinger is set to leave the agency on May 30. The departure of Mersinger, who has served in one of the CFTC’s Republican seats since 2022, opens the way for President Donald Trump to nominate another member to the financial regulator. Rules require that no more than three commissioners belong to the same political party.  Like the Securities and Exchange Commission, the CFTC is one of the significant US financial regulators whose policies impact digital assets. Lawmakers in Congress are currently working to pass a market structure bill to clarify the roles each agency could take in overseeing and regulating crypto. This is a developing story, and further information will be added as it becomes available.

Opinion by: Mike Cahill, co-founder and CEO of Douro Labs Despite the institutional frenzy around crypto and the ubiquitous narrative of democratized access to investing, most of the world population is still barred from traditional wealth-building.  Take the US, for example — here, the top 10% of earners own more than 90% of all stocks. On a global scale, it gets even worse: Billions of individuals don’t have the financial literacy, digital tools or minimum funds required to even access the most basic investment opportunities.  Traditional institutions must do more than just invest in crypto to ameliorate this disparity — they must start employing digital assets for new use cases altogether.  The facet of TradFi that is most ripe for disruption is equities.

Key takeaways: Ethereum’s market dominance has hit overbought RSI levels not seen since May 2021, historically followed by major pullbacks. ETH/USD is showing a bearish divergence on the four-hour chart, hinting at a potential 10–15% price correction. Despite the near-term risks, some analysts view a pullback as a “buy-the-dip” setup before a possible move toward $3,500–$3,800. Ether (ETH) has surged over 50% month-to-date in May, vastly outperforming the broader crypto market’s 15.25% gain. The rally has pushed Ethereum’s market dominance (ETH.D) toward the critical 10% threshold for the first time since March. But the rising dominance accompanies signs of overheating, indicating that Ethereum bulls should not celebrate the rally just yet. Ether’s RSI most overextended since May 2021 …

South Korea could soon follow Hong Kong in legalizing spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs), as the country’s top presidential candidates have expressed pro-crypto positions.

Once a go-to swapper for hackers and drainers, eXch was shut down by German police in April — but continued activity suggests the story isn’t over. Without Know Your Customer (KYC) checks, eXch wasn’t your typical crypto exchange. It acted more like an instant swapper, allowing bad actors and cybercriminals to fly under the radar for years. Among its clients was the Lazarus Group. The North Korean state-backed hacking unit thrust eXch into the spotlight back in February, when it used the platform to funnel some of the $1.4 billion it stole from Bybit. When Bybit traced its stolen funds to eXch, it requested assistance — but the platform refused. This led to a fierce discussion over privacy versus security, but ultimately, eXch announced it would close its doors on April 17; on April 30, Ge…

Ever try to monitor a laser system in real-time... with Excel? Yeah, I’ve been there. A couple years ago, I was asked to build a dashboard for a medspa’s laser lipo machine. They wanted live data. Not just logging—but pulse-by-pulse, second-by-second monitoring. My first thought? “This is gonna be a nightmare.” You’d think there’d be some ready-made solution, especially in places as tech-savvy as a Medspa in Chicago. But nope. At first, we tried to jury-rig a CSV parser that pulled in log files every 10 minutes. Huge mistake. We missed surges in energy output, and one day the machine overheated mid-session. That’s when it hit me: we needed true real-time telemetry. Enter: Node.js (or Python, if that’s your jam). Here’s the quick-and-dirty framework I came up with: Stream the machine’s da…  ( 4 min )

Prior to MCP you could build custom tools into an AI application using tooling like Microsoft Semantic Kernel or LangCha…  ( 7 min )

When performing arithmetic with unsigned types in C++, especially with types like std::uint8_t, it's common to encounter questions surrounding modular arithmetic behavior. Specifically, many developers wonder if they can detect when a subtraction operation underflows (i.e., wraps around) without explicitly comparing the two operands. Understanding Subtraction with Unsigned Types In C++, when subtracting one unsigned integer from another, the result is constrained within the limits of the type. For std::uint8_t, this means that values wrap around when the result would go below zero. For example, subtracting 5 from 3 results in 254 due to the wrapping behavior inherent in unsigned types. To validate whether an underflow occurred during subtraction, comparisons are typically used. However, th…  ( 5 min )

Bad code is not only hard to read, it can cause expensive incidents. According to the Uptime Institute’s 2022 Outage Analysis, “nearly 40% of organizations have suffered a major outage caused by human error over the past three years” with over 60% of all failures resulting in at least $100,000 in total losses. With more and more AI-generated code creeping into software, the potential for bad code increases. While LLMs are just the latest innovation altering the software development lifecycle, regardless of whatever disruption comes next, code will always benefit from consistently applied best practices. In this article, we’ll talk about tech debt, good versus bad code, best practices to follow, and other ways you can fortify your software. We’ll also discuss practical strategies for implem…  ( 14 min )

Introduction In ASP.NET Web API, retrieving the IP address of a remote host making a request can be crucial for various scenarios, such as logging, security checks, and analytics. While ASP.NET provides the System.Web.HttpRequest class with a ServerVariables property to access the REMOTE_ADDR variable for obtaining the client's IP address, achieving this in ASP.NET Web API is slightly different. This article will explore how you can effectively get the IP address of the remote host in an ASP.NET Web API application. Understanding the HTTP Context In ASP.NET Web API, unlike traditional ASP.NET applications, the context is represented by a different class. You'll work with HttpRequestMessage to obtain the information you need, including headers that can contain details regarding the client's…  ( 4 min )

Abstract This paper introduces SMUGGLER, a novel neural architecture for direct byte-level text generation with remarkable efficiency and error tolerance. Unlike conventional token-based language models, SMUGGLER operates on raw 32-bit character chunks using three innovative mechanisms: 1) Temperature-controlled sparse voter ensembles, 2) Prime-numbered multi-channel parity correction, and 3) RLHF-GAN adversarial training with multiple specialized discriminators. SMUGGLER achieves high-quality text generation with orders of magnitude fewer parameters than traditional approaches while demonstrating resistance to catastrophic forgetting. Experimental results on Shakespeare text generation show that our approach enables efficient, high-quality generation on consumer hardware without requiri…  ( 13 min )

Hey everyone, I recently developed an open-source tool called Email RAG Assistant to help manage and make sense of my overflowing inbox. It's a local app that: 📩 Summarizes emails into concise one-liners 🗂️ Automatically categorizes emails (Urgent, Important, Promotion, etc.) 🔍 Allows natural language queries like: "Did we ever discuss project XYZ?" "How many emails did I receive from xyz@gmail.com last March?" "Summarize my last 50 emails." All processing is done locally to prioritize privacy. I'm using NVIDIA NIMs for inference, but I'm exploring integrations with local LLMs to enhance privacy further. The project is still in its early stages, and I'm looking for feedback, suggestions, or contributions. Here's the GitHub repository: https://github.com/namanmistry/EmailRAG Would love to hear your thoughts or any ideas for improvement!  ( 3 min )
